SPRAYED CONCRETE OPERATOR CERTIFICATION
In order to increase safety, enhance quality and minimize sprayed concrete waste, AMA Anläggning (Swedish standard) now states that all operators that will perform concrete spraying in tunnel projects shall have a certificate. This means that projects like E4 Stockholm Bypass (E4 Förbifart Stockholm), the New Subway (Nya tunnelbanan) and the West Link (Västlänken) require the certificate. The Swedish Rock Engineering Association (Svenska Bergteknikföreningen) is the certifying body and they will certify all operators that goes through and passes a training and assessment program including both a Theory part and a Practical part, as well as hands in a proof of spraying experience. The certificate is valid for 5 years. Edvirt® is accredited to hold both parts in the program - see "‘Theory part"‘ and ‘Practical part’ below.
Note: There is now also a certificate for Site managers and Construction managers. It’s however the same course required for it.
The Swedish Rock Engineering Association has accredited Edvirt® to hold Theory part, meaning the course including theory and concrete lab tests.
Operators are required to attend and pass both courses (Theory part and Practical part) to receive the Swedish Rock Engineering Association’s certification 'Sprutning med sprutbetong enligt Svenska Bergteknikföreningen'. For the Practical part course, please see “Practical part”.

INFORMATION
The Practical part i.e. practical training and assessment with simulator will be performed by operators training and proving their capabilities using Edvirt's® VR Shotcrete Simulator™.
The VR Shotcrete Simulator™ is a renowned simulator, used globally for training, assessment and certification of sprayed concrete operators. Edvirt® and the VR Shotcrete Simulator™ has been evaluated and accredited by Trafikverket.
Each operator have to go through 17 training steps in the simulator, proving certain capabilities specified by the Swedish Rock Engineering Association in their training and certification plan.
Each operator should account for 40 hrs going through simulator training and assessment.
